City of Broken Dreamers [PhillyGames] (Город Сломленных Мечтателей)

Dev Update #36



Alright, after a couple weeks of not going 100% I think I am back to normal again. That was a bit odd for me, but going forward I am going to make sure I do take a bit more me time now and then. 90 to 100 hours a week between this and real life work for 2.5 years sorta crashed down hard, and I don't want that to happen again. Hopefully that is the end of that :p

Now for the game, everything is coming together. Going to be doing a big build tomorrow to ensure everything lines up right and tweak whatever doesn't. All but one scene is written though it is sizable, I still want to get everything off to proofing sometime mid week. There is also only one scene left to render apart from some pick up shots here and there. For count there are 862 renders and 47 animations. So this is probably the largest chapter yet, or on par with 0.4. Once it is in the proofer and testers hands and they have had ample time to review it then expect a release shortly after.

As always, stay awesome guys!

Dev Update #35
​


Okay so this last week I did take it a bit easier than I had been going, so the numbers aren't as crazy as per usual. I still don't think I'm 100% but I'm getting close and way better than this time last week. Regardless though, the work that was done is really great, that also includes a new character as posted above. Not just a one off thing. Well I should say if up to you not a one off thing :p

Progress I'll keep quick. 2 new scenes are written with a couple more to go. I did notice there are a few spots where more needs to be fleshed out but nothing crazy. As for renders it is now at 786 which includes this new character and a few new environments. There are also 45 animations and I also re rendered one of the others that had a small glitch in it that was driving me insane.

Now I gotta make myself some good food, or Serana will get angry with me :)
As always stay awesome guys!

Year One Dev Update



That's right it has been a year since CoBD had it's first release. Time seems to be just flying by. Since then, things have grown a lot. It is all a bit overwhelming and thank you everyone new and old for your continued support. It is certainly one of the more odd games out so to speak from others, so the fact people have latched onto it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
Above is a delayed valentines day render and year one render. Vic was the figurehead model on initial release so she seemed appropriate. That is 4k by the way so make sure to blow it up.
As for progress again, things are still going well, I have been ramping up writing a bit so I don't fall behind with renders.
Render wise we have 675 with most done through post. I think 30 are needing post work but the rendering is done. There are also now 43 animations. Both of those numbers will climb in the next few weeks.
But things are coming together, finally starting to hit that point where the light is at the end of the tunnel.
Next week will also be custom render time. Still debating what is in store for that. Then after release I will also do the next comic as well. Should be fun :)
As always stay awesome guys!

Did someone say cyberpunk!



Small little gift for you guys :)

I had rendered a ton of stuff yesterday and decided to have some fun to end the night.
Enjoy!

Dev Update #30



30 updates! Jesus H. Christ!

And what the hell is going on, why is Venus there!

Okay, enough of that, here's what's up. Still progressing at a good pace, no hangups or anything of that sort. Sitting at 454 renders all done and processed through post, loads more to go. Along with that, there are now 25 animations. Those have taken a bit of a back seat lately but more will be coming in time.

Script wise I am trying to keep up, so far things are in line, and over the next day ill get a good chunk more done as I create the custom renders that were voted on. This one will also feature a special guest appearance from Wolf3DX's model, Marie. He likes to do renders for people on the side, so be sure to check him out, he is also quite active on discord. Expect those to drop sometime tomorrow.

As for next month I will be opening the voting polls to $10 and up. It will be a tiered approach so 20 will be able to vote twice, 30 three times and so on. This way more people can get involved.

As always stay awesome guys!
